His book on 'The Higher Christianity" won it's way into all denomina- tions in England and America. His words
 set the great grace of the gospel as within reach of and an experience for common peo- pie and for common circumstances; with him it is life, not an act. The life of MT.

 IA New England Idyl" is pleasant story, the author of which, Belle c. Greene, has achieved distinction among the younger American writers. Her novel "A New Eng land Conscience" of year ago has been widely noticed. The present work is genu inc study of New England character by one who is entirely familiar with it. The open. ing chapters describe typical farmhouse, such as one may find anywhere in the hill towns of New Hampshire or Vermont, with it's little household of girls and boys and it's humble but picturesque surroundings. The pictures of home-lifs are accurately and deli cately drawn. The main interest of the sto- ry centers in the two girls of the family, Hester and Rosy. They are fatherless and motherless, with the younger members of the family dependent upon them. How they succeeded ill overcoming the various obsta- cles and in what that success consisted is happily told. The story is interesting, wholesome and helpful. D. Lothrop & Co.,, publishers, Boston, Mass. For sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
 There have been many political revolu- tions in some of the South American States, accompanied by cruel acts of military des~ pots. These have given an unfavorable i'm pression of the whole of South America It is desirable for all to have correct view of the different races and countries, and with this in mind c. c. Andrews, ex consul general to Brazil, has prepared volume en- titled "Brazil-Its Condition and Prospects" This country, nearly as large in territory as the United States, of thirteen million inhab- itants, is well worth knowing by Americans, and the object of this volume is to answer such questions as an intelligent American would be likely to ask in regard to Brazil.
 Such foreign countries should be studies
 both in the interests of trade and of peace.
 The author of "Brazil' resided for three years at Rio de Janeiro and the duties of his office brought him into frequent personal in
 tercourse with the leading business houses and best-informed people of the country.
 His acquaintance with the subject is set forth in an interesting way. The book is a valuable one for all interested and will prove of interest to all when once taken up. D. Appleton & Co.,, publishers, New York. For sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.
